Politically Correct Lunacy
 

How about a thread that encompasses half baked decisions made at any level of government in regards to political correctness or protecting us from ourselves.
There should be no shortage of them out there.

I must have led a very sheltered life as I have never been exposed to the term brown bag in the way that it has been defined here.

Political correctness on steroids. How has this stupidity gone so far?

I had never heard the term brown bag either used in the manner described in the article either.

As a kid, my mom put my lunch in a brown bag.

As a kid, the first recycled product I recall were brown bags.

As an adult, I would consider "brown bagging" an expression that could be used to signify frugality and financial discipline...which I personally consider a positive trait running against the consumer lemming tide.

I wonder if the term "debt slave" will be deemed racist and offensive, especially in light of the rising number of them?

It won't be long before crayons have no color label or are banned all together.

On the same note we had several McD's in the área where employees took offense to the reference of black coffee or coffee black.

I am happy to report that recently these individuals are no longer working at these locations and the Drive thru line has quite a few more cara waiting.

So they should start calling their elected officials "Worthless Pieces of Shit in charge of ..............". I mean calling them officials may insult someone that doesn't have a title and "Worthless Pieces of Shit" fits better anyway.

I'm just sayin..............

Do they prefer "Negro" coffee, or "African American Coffee" or "Colored Coffee".

I mean if you can relate "Black Coffee" to a race which is ignorant to say the least what do they want to call it.

If that's the case we need to also ban the word "Nigga" or "Nigga Please". You see where this is going. If "Black" offends you stop using the word "Nigga". I can guarantee you some of the ones complaining use it on a daily basis.

OK, I'm off my soap box now. :p

There persons in question would often say 'You mean a dark coffee' .

Response: Yes, I want a BLACK coffee thanks.

Fuck'em

That's when you say, yea but really dark. I want it so dark it's Black. :lifter

By the way I'm surprised the settled on dark. I guess they've never heard of the term "Darkie". I guess they get to pick and choose though.

My thoughts exactly.

Oh I'm just waiting for the politically correct crowd to ban "Black Friday" or complain about the bug repellant "Black Flag".

So does this mean we should rename Black history month to "Dark history month"?

I know let's rename the NAACP to NAADP. :D

When will the madness stop. :confused:

I've noticed in my endeavors, it's only racist if someone they disagree with says it. Any often the "offended" individual is racist themselves.


There's a wee bit of flexible tolerance, have I mentioned the hypocrisy?

LMMFAO!
 

I almost spit my "black" coffee with "white" cream & sugar out.:D

AKA ... a "Regular Coffee".

Guess I'll have to stop calling those things I get occasionally on my face "Black Heads".

I think I'll complain about the next Macy's or JC Penny White Sale. I'm offended as there were white slaves back then also and I am very sensitive about that.

Actually I think the government should pay me reparations due to my pain and suffering.

Yea, that sounds just as stupid as another race that likes to use it but I'm white so I don't count.

Sorry guys! I'm just tired of all this VICTIM mentality and the majority of it comes form individuals who have gotten handouts for a generation or more and are too damn lazy to get off their ass and set some goals and achieve something in their lifetime.

I call BULL SHIT!

Victim mentality is part of it, but there are a few other things that come to mind as well.

If we cater to those people (use of 'those people' is considered generalizing and sometimes racist) and allow them to influence what we can or will use as references they have the power to redefine what is what....in this case of coffee what is black, or in the case of a paper bag as to what reference you can use to describe a paper bag or how it is used.

A comment from another forum


Like JJ , Bronstein and his Office of Civil Rights don't exist and grow without the ability designate new boogie men.

At present rate it is only a matter of time before we have Word Police at the Federal, State and Local levels issuing fines and incarcerating people for word use.


As for the pedigrees of these two from the Office of Civil Rights:
